English term or phrase: coming-of-age story
Definition from VirtualSalt - Robert Harris:
A type of novel where the protagonist is initiated into adulthood through knowledge, experience, or both, often by a process of disillusionment. Understanding comes after the dropping of preconceptions, a destruction of a false sense of security, or in some way the loss of innocence. Some of the shifts that take place are these: * ignorance to knowledge * innocence to experience * false view of world to correct view * idealism to realism * immature responses to mature responses Examples: * Jane Austen Northanger Abbey * Charles Dickens, Great Expectations * Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage

Example sentence(s):
  • Everything about Scherfig’s coming-of-age story about a girl in the London suburb of Twickenham in 1961 is spot-on. Austin Chronicle Corp.
  • But this comedy about a Texas high schooler (Ellen Page) who reinvents herself as “Babe Ruthless” and becomes the star of an Austin league is a surprisingly credible coming-of-age story. Creative Loafing Media
  • Ostensibly a coming-of-age story, this languorous, beautifully shot feature debut from Minh Nguyen-Vo, a writer and director, centers on a teenager whose journey from innocence to knowledge is also a twinned meditation on both the natural and very unnatural state of things. The New York Times Company

razvojni roman
Definition:
Često su kritičari pokušavali da razgraniče obrazovni roman od srodnih žanrova razvojnog i vaspitnog romana. Začetak toga nalazi se već u knjizi Melite Gerhard Nemački obrazovni roman do Geteovog Vilhelma Majstera, objavljenoj 1926. "Razvojni roman" ovde je shvaćen kao opštija kategorija, u koju spadaju sva ona dela "koja za predmet imaju sukob pojedinca sa njegovim svetom, njegovo postepeno sazrevanje i urastanje u svet, kakvi god bili preduslov i cilj tog puta" (str. 1). "Obrazovni roman" nasuprot tome Melita Gerhard označava kao istorijsku specifikaciju, podvrstu "razvojnog romana", koju treba pripisati Geteovoj i post-geteovskoj epohi.
